16th International Symposium on Genome Variants (ISV2026).

This biennial in-person conference will explore the latest advances in digitization, sequencing, database building and bioinformatics analysis of genetic variants of DNA, RNA and proteins.

In the face of rapid technological advancements, understanding the impact of these variants is more crucial than ever. ISV2026 will bring together leading researchers, laboratory scientists, and industry experts to explore the latest developments in the following areas:

1. Beyond the code: Non-coding variation and gene regulation

2. The next frontier: Sequencing technologies and genomic knowledge

3. From variants to patients: Clinical applications and diagnostics

4. Beyond cancer: Somatic variation in health and disease

5. AI and functional genomics: Harnessing the impact of variants

6. Large-scale projects: Building the future of genomic medicine

7. Beyond Discovery: Frontiers of Application of Genomic Research, Emerging and Cutting-Edge Topics in Variant Research. Key Dates: August 4, 2025 – Registration and Abstract Submission Open. ISV2026 will be held at the historic Irish College Leuven, Belgium, a beautifully restored venue combining modern conference facilities with 17th-century charm. Accommodation bookings at the Irish College and nearby hotels will open on the same date. Discover Leuven: Leuven is a vibrant university city, home to KU Leuven, one of Europe's leading research universities. It seamlessly blends historic charm with modern innovation, boasting remarkable architecture, a dynamic cultural scene, and a welcoming atmosphere.
